Stop bill H.R. 669

This petition was started to stop Bill H.R. 669 from being passed or even going any farther than it already has. this bill will destroy the reptile industry for everyone who enjoys it.
There is no middle ground with this bill. Its cut and dry on what they want to do. If passed it will make all nonnative wildlife illegal to own, breed, take across state lines to trade shows or even grandfather in all nonnative animals already here to resupply the industry.
I understand that the industry and hobby must take responsibility for the safe and secure ownership of the animals. I am all for owner responsibility and having some limitations set on who, how, and even what species that anyone can purchase. But, they should not have the right or even be allowed to take away our right as responsible owners to have these reptiles and animals.
If you agree with this please sign this petition.
There has not been any thought put into this bill or any discussions about what we want or what we would be willing to compromise on.
I will send this to as many Politicians as I can, once I find out the date of the next meeting on this bill.

Sponsor

Responsible Hobbyist's, owners and breeders of nonnative wildlife.

I think money should be spent on education and not elimination. There are alot of responsible pet owners and it would be a shame to eliminate their right as owners, One more government intervention. Enough is enough.

Please vote no to HR 669. I am from Ontario, Canada and I take this as seriously as I would if I lived in USA. Reptile owners such as myself are responsible when keeping reptiles. Becuase people in the past have let their reptiles go, why should the whole entire world suffer It will only drive the economy into even more of a recession than we are already in. Every single company in the USA will be out of business, therefore, more homeless, more of a problem. Once they are out of business, people in Canada will be drastically affected by this, and cause Canadians into more of a recession and more families with no money to eat. Please dont let this bill pass. It is not fair to MILLIONS of people.

I am an owner of reptiles, and studying to become a degree-carrying herpetologist, and this affects me greatly, because I wish to eventually open a store dedicated to providing reptilian family members to those who want them. I am a responsible owner and want to educate others on how to be so as well. This bill would destroy my dream that I have had since I was a child.
